With free buses, cinema tickets at £3, free teaching packs, plus CPDs and additional activities on offer, Discovery Film Festival is a rich cross-curricular cultural experience. This year's festival offers more for schools than ever and we're keen to work closely with teachers to ensure our resources are useful and the timings are right so that everyone can get the most out of the experience.

Highlights this year include Mia and the Migoo (P1-P7), an animated feature film great for Global Citizenship, and book adaptions, The Gruffalo and Varmints (P3-P5). There will be world class film for Secondary pupils, particularly those studying Modern Languages, Modern Studies and Media Studies.

To receive early notice of confirmed films and times, sign up to receive an email on 17 August with the full schools programme or email discovery@dca.org.uk with ‘updates’ in the subject line.

Our Events and Visitor Services Manager Kris Bryce will be responsible for all school bookings this year - kris.bryce@dca.org.uk. Please get in touch if you have any queries.
